Although China’s defense ministry could not be reached by the Journal for comment, the presence of Chinese warships close to U.S. territory is likely connected to China’s efforts to ramp up its military activity as its economic power expands. “I don’t think we’d characterize anything they’re doing as threatening,”one defense official told The Wall Street Journal.
Other officials theorized that the ships’ presence could be due to China’s growing interest in using the Northern Sea Route to transport goods, since that route between Asia and the West can be up to several days faster than the Suez Canal route. “It’s difficult to tell exactly, but it indicates some interest in the Arctic region,” one Pentagon official said. “It’s different.” Becca Stanek
